Features

The EPSON Color Calibrator restores y our EPSON Stylus® Pro 5000 or 9000 printer to its originally designed color settings. By creating a color profile for your printer and then implementing it on your EPSON RS-5 000 Fiery RS-5100 Fiery X2 RIP, the calibrator helps y ou ac h ieve co nsist ent color output.

You ca n also calib rate your system to match your printing vendor’s system using ICC profiles. This lets you preview your output at the earliest possible stage in your prepress workflow.

Note:

The calibrator can o nly adjust to ICC profiles that are based o n JapanColor, SWOP , or E U RO profiles.

Modifying the ICC Profile

To calibrate your RS-5000 or RS-5100 to the printer you will ultima te l y use for your f in al product, you need to obta i n a printout from your vendor. EPSON recommends using a printout of one the standa rd color c harts. See the instructions below.

If you want to use a printout of a color chart from your printing vendor, rather than the provided chart, see “Using a custom color chart to update your ICC profile” on page 4-6.

Preparing to measure the standard color chart

First you need to obtain the printed color chart from your vendor. Then you prepare for mea suring by ca librating the black a nd white points. Follow these steps:

1. Have your printing v endor print a c olor chart using one of the files provided with your calibrator. These files are in the Chart folder of your EP SON Color Cali brator f older and are named chart.tif and chart.eps.

Note:

Be sure to have the chart printed on the same type of paper as that of your fin al p r int.
